UK Government publishes no-deal Brexit reports

Press reports (18th Aug 2018) say that during Aug-Sept 2018 will see 84 reports published relating to a no-deal exit from the EU and the impact on UK citizens and businesses.

In July 2018, PM Theresa May told a parliamentary committee that about 79 "technical notifications" would be released advising individuals and busineses on how to prepare for a no-deal withdrawal. There are many challenging issues and, though the reports will aim to be factual in content, some of the affects will come as a shock to the general public. The reports will cover areas that come under a number of government departments, including the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), Department for International Trade (DIT), HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), Department for Transport (DFT) and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Stategy (BEIS).
